[QUOTE="mac57, post: 327539, member: 17052"] Perhaps it might be best to simply reformat the partition to HFS+ and call it a day? This makes the space available to you, albiet as another logical drive. However, it is all available at that time, and perhaps you could move one logical chunk of your personal stuff (perhaps your iTunes library) to it? There is even a minimal advantage to this setup - if your main OS X disk ever gets logically corrupted, the files you have placed over on the second partition will be safe and sound. A minor advantage, given that Mac OS X doesn't seem inclined to corrupt volumes very often, but still an advantage. [/QUOTE]
